STOVE.

Appiietion iea september 211, i922. seriai water-,346. l

To .all whom t .may concern) Be it known ythat I, RICHARD citizen of the United States, residing at St.v y Louis, Missouri, have invented a new and useful Stove, Vvof which thev followingA isla specification. Y l

This invention relates to improvementsin stoves, and more particularly to an attach.

ment to be mounted inthe upper part of the combustion` chamber of the stove for thepurpose of deflecting the'ilame and products of combustion, whereby the walls of the stove are heated to a greater degree.`

An object of the invention isto rprovide an. attachment for stoves comprising a de- Yllect'or plate arranged to deflect the products of combustion before the Same enter ,theoutlet flue of the stove. V g

,Another object'ofthe invention is top ro-V vide. an attachment for stoves comprisingfa horizontal deflector wall .with a vertical wall So positioned in connection therewith as to provide a lateral iiue outlet lfrom the combustion chamber betweenk the combustion chamber andthe normal'flue outlet ofthe stove.

Additional yadvantagesof ,the` cons tr-uction .dependinglugs 9 `ontheyedge ofthe plate8j -vwill be apparent from the detailed description thereof taken in connection.- with they accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. l is a plan view ofthe stove with the attachment embodied therein. y

FigfQis a vertical section further illus-v trating theconstruction of the attachment.

Fig. 3 is an isometric view ofthe attachment detached from the stove. f

The inventionI is shown embodied a stove including adrum. l forming the combustion chamber of thestove, below which is supported a grate 2 mounted above an ash pit 3, the stove being supported by legs Il;

The drum is providedl with a top member 5 having adjacentto the back thereof an loutj let flue 6 and having an opening in the-frontV of the top covered by a lid 7 ln Vthe ern-v bodirnent` illustrated in the drawing the attachment is shown as applied to a stove having a substantially cylindrical drum, although it will be understood that it may be applied to any stove of the general type comprising a combustion chamber having adirect flue outlet located in the top of the stove forming a direct draft.

A stove of this type has the disadvantage FUTRAL, a

.thefront edge of the platerat willi of notobtainingthe PrQduCtS 0f wmbuston, for .the 'reason ttifit.`

thegas generated in they stove form a cone,V

the iiue. Much of the heatfromythe fuel is chamber.

The atgtachniient` of .the vapex offwhi'ch is` lthe koutlet openingyof .l

p y l the present invention -lr'f obviatesxthe above disadvantage by provid- Ving a deflector device causingthenormal' 65 lconegformed by the products of combustion tobe deilectedat the top'andagainst the Slide` p y ,wall of thecoinbustion chamber.1

.Thedevice ofthe inventionconsists oflaif i substantially yseiiii-circular plate, 8v arrangedto bemounted inthe upper partofl the corn-f. Y bustion` chamber parallel withthe .top ofthe Stove land. Spacedftherefwm, .the'ilate being. Substantially semi-circular-fin forgin- .covers approximatelyhalf; offthe crossfarea of the combustion chamber and constitutes a deflecting Eplate preventing direct passageof the products of combustion tothe outlet ilueiy `The plate8 ,may beattachedtdtheside Y wall l ofthe drum in any ,suitable Vmanner and,

a convenient vmethod iste providea'rseriesbf I through which bolts 10V extend', thereby `sup/- Portingthe plate,- reflly in .plce- Adjacent vtothe frontedge of theplatedsa vertical.

platell., The plate l1 has hinge connec,tions` 12V with the upper wall. of tlieplate 8l andis y provided ywith adamper -rode :1?3. extending out .through the sidewallof the-drum, Cso. I thatthe plate 11v mayy be.manipulated-,frome-\ vertical position to a vflattened -position, against Ythe upper wall/of the plateS.. The

purpose of the .adjustment of theplatel'l is toinc'rease orV decrease the:outletarea, overfv It will benoted that'rthe plate .lel.,isofa. length less'than the length ofthe Ifront,,edgeY of theitplateV 8, Vso that Athere iis providedi'on eitherside off-thefplate 1l, lwhen-Said plate@V (y ll'isina verticalposition, supplemental'outla let tlues 14 Athrough which'the products ofV lcombustion are required to pass before entering the outlet flue 6 of the stove. In Fig. 2v

arrows diagrammaticallyillustratejthe de- Y' iicction of the products of combustion caused bustion are deflected to the outer portion of openings 14 equal the outlet opening' 6, the best results are obtained, If it is desired to increase the dra-ft by manipulating the damper Vrod 13 the plate 11 may be laid back against the upper face of the plate 8, providing a more: direct outletto the flue 6.

"I am aware that the invention may be modified'in certain particulars without departure from the spirit and scope thereof.

Ido not limit myself unessentially, but what l claim and desir-e to secure by Letters Patent is f 1 ltn a' stove, the` combination with a drum, of a grate, a top supported by. the drum, a flue outlet from the top near the back thereof, a plate extending across approxin'iately half of the drum near the top thereof thereby forming a compartment at the topof the combustion chamber, and a vertical plate connected with the front edge of said first-named plate, the ends of said last-named plate being spaced from the drum thereby forming outlet openings whereby the products of combustion are deflected at the top of the combustion chamber.

2. In a stove, the combination with a drum, of a grate, a top supported by the drum, a flue outlet from the top near the baclrthereof, a plate extendingr across approximately half ofthe drum near the top thereof thereby forming a compartment at :the top ofthe combustion chamber, Vand aV Vertical plate connected with the front edgeV of said first-named plate, the ends of said last-named plate being spaced from the drum thereby forming outlet openings, the

` crossarea of said outlet openings being approximately equal to the cross area ofthe first-named lflue outlet.

3. In a stove, the combination with a drum, a grate, atop for the drum, a flue outlet opening adjacent to one edge of the top, of 'a substantially semi-circular plate mounted in the drumY masking approximately half ofthe upper part of the combustion chamber below the flue outlet opening, and a Vertical plate positioned at the bu'stion chamber below the flue outlet opening, a vertical plate positioned at the front edge of said last-named plate and extending adjacent to the under face of the top of the stove, said vertical plate being spaced at its ends from the' side wallof the drum to forni outlet flue openings at each side of the main flue outlet, a hinge connection .between the Vertical rplate and said first-named plate, and a damper rod extending exteriorly of the drum for controlling the position of said vertical v plate.

5. ln a stove, the combination with a drum, a grate, a top supported by the drum, an outlet iiue opening inthe top adjacent toi one edge thereof, of a plate positioned below the top, said plate being of an area less than the top, the space between the plate and grate being open and unencumbered and cooperating with the top and with the drum to forma compartment, a partition plate connected with the inner edge of said first-named plate, the ends of saidY partition plate being lspaced from the walls of the drum, a hinge connection between said par-` tition plate and said first-named plate whereby said partition plate may be moved from a vertical position in respect of said first-named plate to a position against the upper face thereof for the purposes specified.

6. In a stove, the combination with a drum, a grate, a top supported by the drum, an outleth flue opening in the top adjacent to one edge thereof, of a Yplate positioned belowthe top, said plate being of an area less than the top, the lspace between the plate and grate being open and unencumbered Vand cooperating with the top and with the drum to form a compartment, and a partition plate connected with the inner edge of said first-named plate, the ends of said partition plate being spaced from the walls of the drum.
